This is similar to the one I bought, and I love it.

Also, it goes up to 380 lbs.

Even with the most accurate scale, you won't know if your weight loss/gain is from water retention, LBM, or fat... so take measurements and don't worry too much about the scale.

This one goes up to 440 lbs, you can buy it at walmart and its less than $40.

This is the scale I purchased -- and I am so glad I did!

Read the reviews. The company has an excellent reputation for backing its product.

It doesn't have all the bells and whistles (ie: body fat estimate, bone density, BMI or any of those other things) But it is accurate and it weighs in 0.2 (2/10th) of a pound increments.

I had another digital scale, one that weighed in full pounds (no fraction of a pound). I could step on and off and on and off and I'd get a different weight each time. It would vary by three or four pounds! This one is consistent ... which was good enough for me.

I was curious how close the weight came to my doctor's scale (also digital). Immediately before leaving for a doctor's appointment, I weighed myself, fully clothed. Went to my appointment and stepped on the scale. The difference was 0.6 pound. Now I'm convinced that I made the best choice. Best of all, it's less than $40 at Amazon.

Some of us like to have a ballpark number of what we weigh and to achieve that in the comforts of our home. Clearly the OP wants a scale so why not tell her what you think is the best brand to buy. What's the most accurate brand?

I like the FitBit Aria Scale- It sends my weight to the fitbit site and tracks track your weight, % body fat, and Body Mass Index (BMI). It is a little pricey...http://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Wi-Fi-Smart-Scale-White/dp/B0077L8YFI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363106771&sr=8-1&keywords=aria+scale

Sorry for offering an alternative way to measure success.
I honestly don't know a good brand, but I do know that if you use the same scale every time it won't matter how accurate it was to start it will still measure whether there was a gain or loss in weight.

My problem wasn't the alternative, it was that you told her not to worry about the scale so much as if this was a topic about a chronic scale user. She no longer has access to a scale and even if you only weigh once a month you should have an idea of how much you weigh. Most scales don't go past 300 lbs and I think its important she finds a good one that can weigh her.

I also have an EatSmart brand scale that I love. Mine is a higher end model, but it seems to be pretty accurate for weight and body fat.

This model measures weight up to 400 lbs, body fat, muscle and body water.

EatSmart Precision Plus is very accurate and not at all expensive. The upper end is 440lb.

400 lb capacity, $23 with free shipping, and it's pretty.

I bought the red/orange one.

I had actually asked this question a few months ago and found that most people said to go basic. The ones with the water measurements, bmi measurements, etc, weren't accurate for them. So I went with basic and I love it. Also, I feel better knowing that I'm not measuring inaccurate numbers.

ETA: I do measurements also. I want to know ALL the numbers that go down. :bigsmile:

Will check this out. Thank you!

I got a Taylor brand Digital Body Fat scale on Amazon, I like it except that it reads everything in KG and you have to look it up online and convert it to LBs.

Flip it over and see if there is a switch to change to lbs.
